Fear Virus versus Corona virus
Who is going to win?
We hear plenty of Fear coming from the news on a daily basis these days. Fear is on the up. Yes there is a global virus and yes its dangerous, but what shall we do about the Fear? Surely it will start harming us emotionally or mentally if we keep absorbing it? And it may start spreading fast too.
Some may say that fear is good as it will get people to take good precautions and follow the recommended guidelines. This is true but we dont need to continuously live on fear in order to do that. If we do and it starts controlling our lives then it will affect us negatively i think. So my solution is to cast out the fear once we have applied all the responsible precautions. Because by then we would have done the best we can to minimise the spread of the physical virus. So now we dont need the Fear virus to keep spreading to us anymore. We can now extinguish that virus and live in a new fear free realm.
In this fear free realm you can look at other aspects of life. Eg what to do with the kids (if you have them) or what to do with the extra spare time you have, as well as looking at the wider picture of what is going on on this planet, thinking about the implications of the virus etc, but doing it on your own terms rather than having it dictated to you via the News and media. This way you are in control of things and not someone else. You are running your life and not the state TV etc.
So once you have taken back control of your life and are not letting events control you , then you can start thinking about what next to do. It will be different things for different people. For me I wanted to look at ways to improve my immunity and found the Breathing Excersizes of Wim Hof and his cold shower technique which turned out to be very beneficial for me. I also looked at other people's interpretations and views of this pandemic and how they made sense of it. This can greatly expand our minds and make us aware of new things that we had not been aware of before. I looked at the normal conspiracy theories of what is happening as well as the spiritual views and even the wackier Alien channelling views (YouTube is an excellent source of information). It's really interesting to see all this variety in views and beliefs. I can then start seeing a bigger picture (if there is one) and get a better understanding of what may be going on. I dont have to believe everything I read and i can certainly pick and choose the bits that seem possible and rational to me. With this new info I can research further and satisfy my curiosity. In doing so, I may have found that I have fortuitously found myself a new door of knowledge that I previously had no knowledge nor awareness of. In this way my life in lockdown can become more interesting than my life before lockdown !
The alternative to this is to stay with the Fear virus and keep yourself hooked to the TV and let the TV and media control you. Take you here and take you there. Scare you here and scare you there. Its up to you. Also if you are into fear (a fear junkie) then another fear coming up i think will be the economic impact of the virus once things have settled. So if you want fear to rule you then the outlook is gloomy I would say. But if you want not to be ruled by fear then that doorway is available too. So choose the path that you wish to tread. I wish you well.
Best regards
